No Regrets

It's very hard to get to the place where you have dealt with all the dark secrets, misgivings, and turmoil in your life.  It's a place where we don't feel as bad about the things we have done or been done to us.
It's not that we don't care what we have done, but more becoming a pleasure to talk about our darkness's to others, so that they can find light in their life because we were willing to share with them our hurts, weaknesses, and strange behaviors.  They grow because we were open.  They understand because we were honest. They will emulate us because we are finally in the right.

God really, really likes that.  Those are the works that matter, so much so that the Bible tells us that God will reward us 10 times over for the small things, and 100 times over for the big things.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices guide us to making the right decisions, which we can pass on to others.

Guilt

Guilt is actually a good thing.  True healing is starting to take place when we realize that we have done things to others that hurt them, took advantage of them, or used them, mostly without their knowledge.  Going back to them and clearing our conscience is the only way to remove guilt.

Carrying unresolved guilt around makes us angry & depressed.  It leads to strange behaviors and habits.  It causes us to be over sensitive & suspicious.  It scatters our thoughts & affects our daily life.

When we do decide to go back, people respond in 3 different ways, they thank us for telling them, don't really care either way, or get angry.  If they get angry then God is starting to work at healing their life too!  You're free....and soon they will be too!

Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices teach us how to talk about taboo topics with confidence and caring.

Science Based Religion

Some great scientists says that when science meets a stalemate then it's time to connect the brain with the heart!  In other words, put your whole being into it.  If you think about it, religion or even a hobby is like that too.  There has to be a point that in order to keep our interest we need to have our heart in it.

God tells us that we need more than just a factual understanding of His word.  That's only the mechanics behind the religion, like words in a book.  Now it's time to do God's will, start living those words, to show others what those words mean and how to apply them.  But.... when we are focused on the tripping hazards, or addictions in our life, then that can't happen.  We stay where our heart is, no matter what our brain says!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices pose questions to us that get us to crack the shell that we have maintained for soooo long.

Simple Addiction

The words of an addict: "For some reason I love what I hate and I become what I fear.  I loath the very thing that excites me, yet I continue".

In man's eyes it's called an addiction, but in God's eyes it's His sorrow.  You just don't realize the damaging effects to ourselves and others when we are blind to addictive states.  It can be the abuse of control, people, situations, and emotions.  These abuses lead to uncontrolled use of habits and substances.

It's really that simple but we make it infinitly complex.  We don't see the simple fix because we don't believe in it.  We expect healing to be a mountainous affair, but to God its a snap of His fingers....but....can we believe that?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that if we don't believe God will heal us then His power given to us won't work!!

Understanding Release

People finally stop doing a certain sin & Jesus cast out demons regularly.  What's the common denominator; whether we choose or are freed from a certain lifestyle?

It's understanding that we are doing wrong and if we continue we will go deeper and further into that lifestyle.  Further away from the light and whats right in God's plan. 

The Bible tells us that the "scales were removed from their eyes" & "their eyes were opened" and "your faith has set you free".  It also says that "the truth will set you free"!  These all relate to education and seeing the truth.  What it doesn't talk about is our choices which are keeping us in the lifestyle we abhor.  If we like the smallest thing about our favorite sin, then it will act like an anchor keeping our eyes blinded to the truth and stuck in our sin.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that we have to want total freedom or the demons will come back stronger than ever!

Living Friendship

Being told that you're doing wrong can seem hurtful.  But look at it this way; would you rather have a friend tell you face to face that you screwed up?  Or... have an enemy talk about you behind your back?  There's an awful lot of people who say they are your friend, but have ulterior motives or they're not very brave.

There's something to be said for a courageous friend who can openly talk to you.  They obviously have your best interests at heart.  They dispel rumors about you by asking you about them.  There's not many of those people around is there?  So when you find one, treat them with the respect that they showed you. 

Prov 27:5 An open rebuke is better than hidden love!

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us to look at the person and discuss their sins with them, not talk about them.

Your Mistakes

Sometimes when we make mistakes we view that as a personal failure, a slice of proof that we are unintelligent or unteachable.  That is simply a lie that we perceive as true because other people don't have trouble with the things we do.  That part is true!!  Other people have problems with other things we find simple.  But this is pointless, lets talk about the reason!!

Fear of being ridiculed or labeled as stupid, drives us into despair.  We may view ourself as unworthy in God's eyes.  We fail doing something once and then give up.  So after that we have to act tough, be indifferent, use, drink, hang with the crowd we think fits us, or worse, sell ourselves.  Could you imagine if babies only tried walking once and then gave up?  Lol

Mistakes are inevitable, so the Bible tells us , and self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that it takes time to perfect anything.  So mistakes are simply something to learn from, not hide or avoid.
